Airway Complications

You do your best to avoid them. You know they can be associated with significant patient morbidity and unnecessary expense.1-3 But sometimes they occur when you least expect.1,4

   

OUR INTUBATION SOLUTION

With the Next Generation McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope, you can be better prepared for the unexpected.

Routine use of the McGRATH™ MAC video laryngoscope (VL) improves first attempt success rate1 and lessens hemodynamic response5,6 while improving economic benefits,7,8 when compared to the traditional direct visualization (DL) technique. McGRATH™ MAC VL provides greater visualization7 with a familiar Macintosh blade, preparing you for the unexpected during every intubation.

Evolution of a familiar technique

A durable, warranty-protected instrument you can count on — during every intubation.

  • 2 X increased light spread
